Abstract excerpt
Root development is essential for plant survival. The lack of carotenoid biosynthesis in the phytoene desaturase 3 (pds3) mutant results in short primary roots (PRs) and reduced lateral root formation. In this study, we showed that short-term inhibition of PDS by fluridone suppresses PR growth in wild type, but to a lesser extent in auxin mutants of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Such an inhibition of PDS...
